Heaven or Hell

     HEAVEN AND HELL
   
     While walking down the street one day a Corrupt Senator
     was tragically hit by a car and died.
   
     His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the
     entrance.
   
     "Welcome to heaven," says St. Peter. "Before you settle
     in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around
     these parts, you see, so we're not
     sure what to do with you."
   
     "No problem, just let me in," says the Senator..
   
     "Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from the higher
    ups. What we'll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven.
     Then you can choose where to spend
     eternity."
   
     "Really?, I've made up my mind. I want to be in heaven,"
     says the Senator.
   
     "I'm sorry, but we have our rules."
   
     And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and
     he goes down, down, down to hell.
   
     The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a
     green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front
     of it are all his friends and
     other politicians who had worked with him.
   
     Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to
     greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had
     while getting rich at the expense
     of the people. They played a friendly game of golf and
     then dine on lobster, caviar and the finest champagne.
   
     Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly
     guy who is having a good time dancing and telling jokes.
   
     They are all having such a good time that before the
     Senator realizes it, it is time to go.
   
     Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the
     elevator rises...
   
     The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens in
     heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him, "Now it's time to visit
     heaven.."
   
     So, 24 hours passed with the Senator joining a group of
     contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and
    singing. They have a good time and, before
     he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter
     returns.
   
     "Well, then, you've spent a day in hell and another in
     heaven. Now choose your eternity."
   
     The Senator reflects for a minute, then he answers:
     "Well, I would never have said it before, I mean heaven has been
     delightful, but I think I would be better
     off in hell."
   
     So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes
     down, down, down to hell..
   
     Now the doors of the elevator open and he's in the middle
     of a barren land covered with waste and garbage. He sees all his
     friends, dressed in rags, picking up the
     trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls
     from above.
   
     The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his
     shoulders.
   
     "I don't understand," stammers the Senator. "Yesterday I
     was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster
     and caviar, drank champagne, and
     danced and had a great time. Now there's just a wasteland
     full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened?"
  
     The devil smiles at him and says, "Yesterday we were
     campaigning, Today, you voted.."
